A series of molecules has been synthetized in which a functional group is buried inside an aromatic binding cleft. These novel compounds, called «molecular tweezers», have a methyl ester, a carboxylic acid or a nitrile in their clefts
Water-insoluble Zimmerman's molecular tweezers were converted to water-soluble species by coupling with dextran polymer. The dextran-coupled molecular tweezers showed high affinity for adenine derivatives in an aqueous buffer, with the major mode of interaction being considered to be hydrophobic interaction.
